Our Mission

Many find this mission meaningless and seemingly it is; however, there is more to our venture than aimlessly driving around hoping to stumble across the region's favorite convenient store.

We have raised funds for a disease that has affected many of us in one way or another- cancer. Wawa Corportate has been extremely receptive of our efforts and have agreed to match what we have spent on our journey as well as donate an additional $10,000 to Melanoma International Foundation.

April 15, 2008

We had a great time yesterday as guests on the NBC 10! Show... It all started with our interview with Jamison Uhler, which aired last Monday the 7th on the NBC 10 "All That and More Show." After the story ran, we were contacted by a producer from the NBC 10! Show stating that he was interested in our story. Within 15 minutes, we were signed up and booked to be on the Monday April 14th show. We knew that it would be a good opportunity to gain support for our mission.

On the morning of the 10! Show, we walked into NBC studio and were then escorted to the "green room".They really do have green rooms, nuts! We were taken two by two to makeup, and after about 15 minutes of pure panic and blush, we were brought back to our waiting spot. Within 5 minutes, it was time to take the stage. The audience was very supportive and Hosts Bill & Lori were fabulous. I still can't get over how incredibly cool the entire staff at NBC 10 were. The microphone guy, the producers and editors were all great.

We were on stage for about 5 minutes and then that was it...the show finished taping and we were done and back to work we went. I don't think we even knew what we said, or what was asked of us. The show aired yesterday at 2:00 pm. and except for that fact that I was way too smiley, everyone did great.

Overall I rate my experience from yesterday as an A+. Despite the nervous banter in the green room, who could have asked for anything more?

The Rules

1. Only the 5 established team members (Jill, Mary, Emily, Andi and Ann) can participate.

2. A reciept must be obtained from the Wawa visited. In other words, you must purchase something even if it's a 15 cent peppermint patty or now and later.

3. We have 3 years to complete the mission so our projected end date is January 2010.

4. Report your visit to the recorder (Jill) after each visit and the spreadsheet will be updated bi-monthly.

5. Each participant will hold onto the receipts she has accumulated. Eventually she will tally the amount she has spent thus far so the total amount of the venture could be contributed towards a cancer foundation.
